On the other hand, having endured Prometheus and discussed it at ridiculous length (both on the AV Club, elsewhere on the Internet, and in person), there's hardly anything in the world that could induce me to see Covenant (perhaps outside of universally rave reviews saying it fixes everything that was wrong with the…

I don't know about "culture", but there were people here on the AV Club calling for pretty much precisely this response in the comments on the earlier news stories. Let's say it reflects a certain strain of thought that is represented within the progressive movement, though I would personally argue that it does not…
Yeah, that was one of my favorites as well. The way he wasn't simply lying on the ground, but holding one leg and arm up in the air and staring glassily ahead.
Oh, I think it's very dangerous to assume that the legal definition of a word is "the actual real definition". From many points of view (historical, etymological, actual usage), the everyday, informal definition is more often the "real" and natural definition, which the legal system has then picked up and twisted and…
That's not how victimhood works. (Not to say I think it makes sense to call him a victim in the first place.)
I don't think "rude" really covers it. "Rude" is something that might hurt someone's feelings a little. Texting in a movie theater ruins the movie experience for a whole bunch of people. It's a massively asshole-ish thing to do.
The forbidden door is also a well-established fairy tale motif (with Bluebeard as the most famous example).
You're half right, in that it hasn't been "showing promise": it's been very good since the start. (In fact, the first few episodes were stronger than the early 30 Rock episodes.)
Came here to post this. A pie without filler does not sound at all tempting.
If they were claiming that, they weren't looking at national polls in the first place.
Yesterday, while the Russia leak was the top story on every reputable news site, I decided to check out what Fox News had to say. There was a huge headline with lots of sub-items for some nonsense about a "Constitutional Convention", and then somewhere buried among a dozen other stories (I think grouped under an…
So the WH is saying (obviously) that Trump giving this info to Russia is no big deal, while the leak to the media puts national security at risk. And they have a surprisingly convincing argument.
Your argument makes a Lothar sense.
Nobody tell him about the droit de seigneur!
The whole problem is that the Constitution did not anticipate political parties, so it did not foresee the situation where a majority of Congress have effectively been sworn to loyalty to the president.
Did they officially cancel Trial & Error?
Cite?
Yeah, and the stats do show that 18 is the most common age, but I just don't really see that big of a difference between 18 and 19.
That's such a good read! All sorts of adventure, and a really convincing depiction of Christianization as well.
